As the Browns continue to rebuild their roster, they’re making a surprising reversal on one of last year’s free agent signings.
Cleveland is releasing cornerback Jason McCourty, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The Eagles also could use a slot corner with Patrick Robinson now in New Orleans, and would benefit by adding depth at receiver, running back and linebacker — especially with Mychal Kendricks as a topic of trade talks. — Tim McManus

Elite Kids Cal Ripken Jersey The Redskins have a few holes, but some (running back) will have to wait until the draft. But they want to bolster their defensive line, pairing young promising linemen such as Jonathan Allen and Matt Ioannidis with more long-term help. They hosted Muhammad Wilkerson, but offered him a deal heavier on incentives than what Green Bay gave Donald Trump Youth jersey him. They were interested in Dontari Poe and Sheldon Richardson, but it never went far. They’re hosting Johnathan Hankins Monday and he would be the sort ofer they’d like to sign long term: Someone who can help in both the running and passing games, is only 25 years old and will be ing for another big payday in his career. — John Keim

New Lions coach Matt Patricia coached the defense in New England when Blount ed there.

Blount, 31, gained 766 yards and scored two touchdowns on 173 carries last season in Philadelphia. He has 5,881 rushing yards and 51 career touchdowns and has ed in 11 postseason games in his eight seasons.

Game Kids Carl Yastrzemski Jersey Man, I thought it went good, Manziel told SI Thursday afternoon. I’d only begun throwing with those guys since like the week before. It’s a precursor for what we’re about to do. It wasn’t flawless or anything. I missed a couple of throws. When we did our pro day I was working with those [receivers] every day. We knew the script without having a piece of paper. With this, you run a slant, you don’t know how those guys are gonna come out of it, but I thought it was good for everybody.

Whitfield, his coach, says Manziel’s arm has more juice now than it did when he was coming out of Texas A&M, although he needs to keep working to improve his timing. Manziel has noticed a difference in his arm strength, as well.

Limited Mens Nick Shore Jersey Right-hander Sonny Gray seemed to take exception to a question about Raekwon McMillan Jersey his role this year after he completed a standout spring training with a strong outing in the Yankees ‘ final game before Opening Day, a 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves ?on Monday night.

Lined up to start the Yankees’ fourth game of the season Sunday in Toronto, Gray doesn’t want to be known as a No. 4 starter after being the Oakland Athletics ace in recent years.

Instead, Washington waited, opting instead to make an offer after the season that wasn’t nearly good enough, given that the alternative was the franchise tag, at $19.95 million for one year, or the open market. Once tagged, the formula became simple two years of the tag, fully guaranteed at signing, as the starting point. Washington didn’t want to do it.

Instead, Washington waited paying Cousins $19.95 million and tagging him again, at $23.94 million. At that point, Cousins wanted the franchise tag for 2017 plus the transition tag for 2018, an increase of only 20 percent (not 44 percent if franchise tagged) over the $23.94 million. Again, Washington didn’t want to do it.

While Washington was willing to make a pair of one-year commitments to Cousins, the team never did enough to make the kind of long-term commitment that Cousins gladly would have embraced. Apart from not giving him a contract that communicated to anyone/everyone that Cousins is the team’s leader, Washington showed plenty of ambivalence and disrespect to Cousins, privately musing about swapping him out for the much cheaper Colt McCoy and publicly calling him Kurt, which team president Bruce Allen did when talking to reporters last year.Womens Kerry Hyder Jersey

The Seahawks had decisions to make on a couple of well-known restricted free agents. One of them will be staying in Seattle, while another may be on the way out.

Dion Jordan, the former No. 3 overall draft pick, was tendered at the first-round level. That means the Seahawks are definitely planning to keep him and think he has a big role in the franchise going forward. Jordan was a major bust for the Dolphins and didn’t at all in 2015 or 2016, but he showed promise for the Seahawks in 2017 and could be a starter for them in 2018.

According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, the Giants intend to keep the embattled former first-rounder, but they’re not quite sure what to do with him next season. While he was a flop at left tackle, it’s not an automatic that he’ll simply move to the right side, as they could see if he can make the transition to guard.

The Giants also signed Jacksonville guard Patrick Omameh last night, and bring back John Jerry. But depending on what other moves they make in free agency and the draft, his position is uncertain.

While Flowers struggled at left tackle, it would be unfair to pin all the problems on him. He is athletic, he is young (still 23), and he is durable (starting 46 of 48 games), along with being price-controlled ($2.397 million this year). And for all his problems in pass-protection in the past, there’s no real reason to think he couldn’t be an effective right tackle.

When it comes down to it, I haven’t really exhausted myself in the pursuit of my dream: That’s being a champion, Williams said. Obviously I love being a Buffalo Bill and wearing those colors every Sunday. I’ve done it for so long. The place means so much to me. I don’t want to do it anywhere else.

Williams will have a new partner on the interior of the defensive line as the Bills added former Panther Star Lotulelei when free agency opened on Wednesday. That adds another name to the long list of teammates he’s had in Buffalo and Williams hopes it will also add to the team’s chances of realizing that dream.

Some Seattle fans have reacted negatively to former Seahawk Richard Sherman signing with the rival 49ers, but Sherman says their anger is misplaced.Ryan Spooner Elite Jersey Responding to Seahawks fans on social media who have criticized Ryan Switzer Jersey him, burned his jerseys and otherwise reacted with outrage that he’s now a 49er, Sherman pointed out that they should be upset with the Seahawks, not with him.

However, Jones will be welcome back if he’s willing to compete for a roster spot as a nickel cornerback and punt returner and if he’s willing to accept the kind of salary that comes with just competing for a roster spot.

Bethel has earned three Pro Bowl selections as a member of special teams for the Arizona Cardinals The 27-year-old, who visited the Falcons on Wednesday, is expected to provide depth to a secondary that features Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford.

The Philadelphia Eagles wanted a treasure chest if they were going to be tempted to trade away backup quarterback Nick Foles this offseason. Turns out, they didn’t get an offer that even piqued their interest, let alone the first-round pick at the very least that they were seeking.

In speaking with NFL Network’s Steve Wyche at the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando on Saturday, Eagles coach Doug Pederson admitted nothing came his way with regard to a deal for the Super Bowl LII MVP.

The Jaguars signed quarterback Blake Bortles to a three-year extension last month that dropped his 2018 cap hit to $10 million and opened up money to spend on other players.
One player who could be a beneficiary of that space and a benefit to Bortles on the field is wide receiver Allen Robinson. Robinson is set for free agency after missing almost all of last season with a torn ACL and there’s been speculation that the Jaguars could use the franchise tag to ensure the 24-year-old sticks around Jacksonville.

Maye had 57 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble while playing 95 percent of the defensive snaps as a rookie.

Flacco ran the Scarlet Knights look team and drew several rave reviews from offensive coordinator Jerry Kill, peaking interest about whether he could be a dark horse to start in 2018. But Kill retired due to health issues after the season . New offensive coordinator John McNulty has since arrived and completely revamped the scheme.

Is Flacco concerned or frustrated his best chance to play may have exited with Kill

I wanted to be able to show them what I could do (last fall), and I feel like I did. So now I’m in the right spot to go earn a spot and earn the starting job, Flacco said, adding head coach Chris Ash watched the scout team offense more intently than Kill would have.

FORT MYERS, Fla. As a parting gift to his baseball family, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson gave Yankees players an autographed NFL football.

The Notre Dame guard is projected as a top-10 pick. Some people believe he might be the best overall player in this draft. On Thursday, he spoke to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine and recalled that he might not have always been so relaxed behind a microphone.

My freshman year of college, I was very nervous in front of the camera, Nelson said. I didn’t like it too much. I was sweating, trying to wipe my forehead because it was all sweaty. Over the years of college, I’ve gotten used to it, and I’m a lot more comfortable in front of the camera and in front of all of you guys.

Nelson did not just put on a good show in front of the media, he also has impressed scouts, coaches and executives here. He bench-pressed 225 pounds 35 times on Thursday. Nelson, who is from Holmdel, NJ, is viewed as the best offensive lineman in this draft and someone who could be a plug-and-play starter as a rookie.

Elite Calvin Pickard Jersey The Jets are a logical destination for Nelson if they sign Kirk Cousins in free agency, removing themselves from the quarterback derby in the draft. They desperately need to begin rebuilding their offensive line after patching it together in recent years. The last time the Jets used a premium pick on an offensive lineman was in 2010, when the team took Vlad Duccasse in the second round.

This is why Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has been so quiet: This trade, a shocker, as all the best trades tend to be. While NFL free agency was happening in other cities with such happy noise, Ballard and the Colts have been quiet for just this moment, when he could jump on a table and scream:

Tomorrow The Colts have to turn those picks into great players. Whiff on the sixth overall selection, and the Colts screwed up. But here’s something I want you to consider: I wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts get Bradley Chubb anyway.

You know Chubb, the North Carolina State defensive end we’ve been in love with since well before the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, when Chubb put on a charming show at his news conference and then put up monster numbers in physical testing. He’s every inch of 6-4, every pound of 270, and he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds. On the vertical leap he elevated 36 inches. In his spare time, when he’s not sacking NFL quarterbacks, maybe he’ll compete in the NBA Slam-Dunk Competition.

The Vikings took Patterson. Patterson’s career to this point has been a mixed bag. One of the top athletes in the 2013 draft, the Tennessee product never quite panned out as a go-to No. 1 receiver. He has not missed a game in five seasons, but he has never cracked 600 offensive snaps in a single season. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder has turned himself into more of a gadget receiver as well as one of the game’s best special teamers. Here’s what the Patriots are getting in Patterson…

Patterson has solidified himself as one of the NFL’s best kick-returners. In five seasons, he’s ranked as the top returner in terms of average yards per return three times. He’s never been outside of the top 10 in the league in that category.

Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has suffered a number of serious arm injuries over the last three-plus years, and Sunday he revealed a painful approach to remedy the situation.
I was happy with where I was at last year before Leo Komarov Youth jersey my arm trouble started creeping up on me, Wheeler said. I felt happy and excited to be healthy and out there and pitching well, and going out there every fifth day and then that sort of started sneaking up on me, derailed my season.

I look at it as win-win-win for everybody as it relates to this dynamic. The players that end up coming to our camp, they are going to be preparing for the championship season just as if they were in spring training with one of the 30 teams.

It’s a complete benefit to the players and organizations that end up signing the players.

Elite Womens Ben Revere Jersey The Cowboys never planned to let the breakout pass-rusher, coming off a 15-sack season, get close to the market. They fell back on the franchise tag before hammering out the contract both sides know needs to get done.

This position could have as much flux for the Vikings as QB, but like QB, there are some strong alternatives on the market.

The Vikings gave Linval Joseph a worthy contract extension last summer, and he delivered another monster run-stopping season. Behind him in the rotation, however, there was a big drop-off. Tom Johnson faded as a 33-year-old starter and will be a free agent. Shamar Stephen, their busiest reserve at nose, is also unsigned for Marcus Williams Youth jersey 2018.

With Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer, the team has had a good eye for loading up on defensive depth in the draft. If the Vikings want to spend some here, the Panthers’ Star Lotulelei is likely to fit their budget better than the Seahawks’ Sheldon Richardson would. The Raiders’ Justin Ellis and the Titans’ DaQuan Jones would be adjusting to new schemes, but they have upside in the Vikings’ 4-3.

Jersey Here is a position-by-position roundup of rumors regarding the most notable potential signings and deals, including the many trades that already are set to become official.

Rarely does a playoff team flip a switch so hard, but Kansas City did, and it did so rather successfully. It started with trading Alex Smith and anointing Patrick Mahomes as the new starting QB. Gone are Marcus Peters, Derrick Johnson and Albert Wilson. Arriving are Kendall Fuller, Anthony Hitchens and Sammy Watkins.

Fullerend up being better than Peters all-around, and he will be much less of a headache for coach Andy Reid. Hitchensmake a ton of plays like Johnson did for many years, and at 25, he’s a decade younger. Wilson had flashes as a complementary weapon to Tyreek Hill, but Watkins is capable of winning a track meet with Hill while streaking downfield to catch passes from Mahomes’ cannon. Reid’s team need a reboot, and the Chiefs 2.0 are looking good.

Bradley Chubb is the best defensive lineman in the 2018 NFL Draft. He is also the most daring towel thief in the class.
Chubb likes to play head games with opposing players. Several times during his college career at NC State, that meant going up to guys on the other team 锟斤拷 usually quarterbacks 锟斤拷 and stealing the hand towels that were tucked into their pants.

Elite Rene Robert Jersey Why do teams like the tag? It gives them control over a star player’s future and some flexibility and time to work out a long-term Reggie White Youth jersey deal. Plus, that whole loss of leverage thing that players hate? Well, that works in teams’ favor when negotiating contracts.

So that’s why you’ll see teams slapping tags on players as soon as they’re allowed to do so. It’s also why you may see Bell hold out again after the Steelers chose to tag him for a second time.

Are there players who can’t be tagged? Yes, but it’s rare. This year, free-agents-to-be Drew Brees and Nate Solder have clauses in their contracts blocking the franchise tag from being applied. Brees, who has been given the franchise tag twice in his career, will almost certainly re-sign with the Saints. The Patriots will also try to lock down left tackle Solder, but he could hit the open market.
